Soap in his eyes

Harry's first ITV show

Harry Hill's first project for ITV has been revealed - a show about soap operas.

He'll make his debut on Saturday December 22 with a prime-time show called Harry Hill's TV Burp.

The programme is billed as a look at favourite moments from TV shows including Coronation Street, EastEnders and Emmerdale plus "a spin through the wonderful world of game-shows".

Hill signed with ITV in October in a two-year deal worth a reported £500,000.

At the time, ITV boss David Liddiment said: ""We have big plans for Harry. He is keen for a fresh challenge. He is developing a number of new ideas for usand we believe he has the talent to do a lot more."

As part of the deal, Hill will also host a variety show next year.
